Kashmir based Pandits and Muslims interrupted Omar Abdullah’s speech in US

Sacramento: Former Jammu-Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s plans to give a talk in University of Berkeley in the United States (US) on Thursday, was stalled by a group of protesters, mostly consisting of Kashmiri Americans. A woman who was the part of the protesting group called Omar Abdullah and his father Farooq Abdullah a war criminal.

The protesting group, which also consisted of Kashmiri Pandits interrupted Omar’s speech at the University for his silence on Pakistan-sponsored violence.

One of them, a Kashmiri Pandit, said, “You Talk to me in Kashmiri, I speak better Kashmiri.” To which Omar Abdullah replied, “You all ran away.”

The youth then gave a stinging reply saying, “You forced us out.”

The Kashmiri Pandits began to leave the state of Jammu-Kashmir in greater numbers in the 1990s during the eruption of militancy, following persecution and threats by radical Islamists and militants.
